To link my 3 artifacts/memories together I am going to relate a kind of circle of life. I will start with my present experience with the little boy calling himself dumb. And then go to my past event where I earned an honors tassel for graduation where I will want all of my students in (my future artifact) my classroom to achieve. And then those students will begin the cycle again. I may choose a theme about the circle of life and how my experiences fit into that circle.
